Images of the Other- in popular culture
I know we didn't get to cover the Orientalism- the Arab and the Jew this year, but I couldn't resist sharing a couple youtube clips I found.

The first video is a MADtv Parody on Al Jazeera- and its obvious the one thing all Arabs/Muslims have in common is there insidious hatred for the west- more specifically America.
The Last video is combination of images used to portray Arabs in Hollywood movies and T.V shows-which also demonstrate some of the key characteristic we used in class to identify and represent the Other as - "belonging to a different time, and inhabit lands which are fixed/ or stuck in the past..."
Have look at the videos!
